DogTrac VetLine – Unlimited Access To Veterinary Advice




From the 1st December, all DogTrac Premium Protection accounts will include DogTrac VetLine.

Having delivered the best part of 1800 dogs to new owners in the UK via our pet transport service I wonder how many of them have been ‘protected’ with insurance and services such as this one offered by DogTrac?

Here in Spain these services are as common as the preverbal Rocking Horse CaCa, and lets be honest, the sheer volume of dogs adopted by expats (who tend to be on tight budgets) means services like this wouldn’t be an option anyway, but having adopted a dog to give it a second chance in life it would (in my humble opinion) make sense to protect it.

Especially as there is a good chance it will (initially at least) be a flight risk!

Premium Protection is only £10 a year per account, not per dog.

What is Premium Protection?

  • Lifetime warranty on your DogTrac tag and free lost tag replacement. This covers you against loss and damage. All you pay is delivery.
  • If your tag is scanned or your dog’s microchip number searched, you will get an instant SMS and email alert and a link to a map pinpointing where it has been found.
  • Lost dog alert. If you lose your dog with or without his collar on you can hit the ‘Lost my Dog’ button on the DogTrac app or online and a notification will instantly be sent to the DogWatch community within 5 miles of where he went missing. A ‘Lost Dog’ poster on every street corner in seconds.
  • Personal SOS alert feature.
